The Free Ryzom Campaign

Until now, Nevrax has produced Ryzom, as a typical commercial software company. Nevrax, not the players, decide what direction the virtial world of Ryzom takes. We want to turn this model on it’s head and give players control over the virtual world their character’s inhabit. We want to purchase the source code, game data, and artwork, so that we can further develop it by placing it under a Free Software license. Once this is accomplished we would reopen the universe of Ryzom to players and have it function and further developed under democratic controlled basis.

It’s good to see the community gathering together to get this done! I’ve played Ryzom a little bit, and it’s a solid game. Would be great to have it free though, and for multiple platforms. If you enjoy the game or want to see a good free MMO in the future, check out the project.
